Job 14:14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. What a transition it was for Paul — from the slippery deck of a foundering ship to the calm presence of Jesus. What a transition it was for the martyr Latimer — from the stake to the throne. What a transition it was for Robert Hall — from agony to glory. What a transition it was for Richard Baxter — from the dropsy to the "saints everlasting rest." And what a transition it will be for you — from a world of sorrow to a world of joy. John Hollard, when dying, said, "What means this brightness in the room? Have you lighted the candles?" "No," they said; "we have not lighted any candles." "Then," said he, "welcome heaven"; the light already beaming upon his pillow. (T. De Witt Talmage.)
